Déjà vu: In 2007, Donald DePass, above right, congratulated his fellow highest honors graduate, Michael Fitzgerald, after he gave a humorous address at their Guilderland commencement exercises. This year, on Jan. 22, the two friends were back in the Empire Plaza Convention Center to be admitted to the New York State Bar. Both graduated from Georgetown University Law Center in May 2014 and both are now associates at Washington, D.C. law firms. DePass, below left, is at Hogan Lovells US LLP while Fitzgerald is at Kirkland & Ellis LLP.
